A little vacation....

My mom and i went to visit Boldt Castle while she was here on vacation. We also went to Singer Castle, but all my pictures got deleted my some idiot on the boat ride from Singer to Boldt. That idiot would be me. I am techno challenged....Jitterbug..doo doo doo doo, Jitterbug, dooo doo doo dooo. Have you seen those ads for the Jitterbug phone? It is a cell phone for old people who are easily cornfused by technology. Well, the husband now likes to sing that song to me. It has become my theme song.

Anywhoot, here is a pic of the boat landing at Boldt.

Singer was a cool castle, and fully decorated...but you have to take a guided tour, which i just HATE. So, by the time we got to Boldt, we were very happy that they just cut you loose on the tour. You can picnic on the grounds, and walk all througout the castle on your own. It has never been completed. Boldt built it for his wife, but she died shortly before completion. He was heartbroken, and never finished it. There is a real estate law in NY state that the island can never be lived on, and the castle may never be completed. It is a very romantic and tragic story. but they really dorked it up by piping the theme from Titanic throughout the castle. I felt like doing a little ballet dance through the halls as it played. The husband and i did that when we snuck into the Grotto at one of King Ludwigs castles in Oberammergau, Germany. The grotto had Wagner piped in. Pretty funny. If you're a nerd. Which i am.
